An Invitation

After a morning visit with my eldest daughter
and my youngest granddaughter Alexis I drove
home.

My daughter had mentioned reading
"Conversations with God" by Neale Donald
Walsch. I inquired if she still had the book.
"No" I returned it to the library just this morning.

Wouldn't you know, I happened, love that word,
to pass a local library on my ride home. It was
open for business! I drove by ,then decided to
take a left hand side street. On my second left,
enabling me to make a legal turn around, I was
greeted by a beautiful monarch butterfly that
gracefully lead the way. These butterflies are
my directional signals. Can't really explain but
they appear at the most unexpected times with
little messages to guide my way. I knew I was
meant to read this book.

Entering the library and unable to locate the
book, I asked for assistance. After a visit with
the librarian of thirty plus minutes, she handed
me a copy of the book. "You may keep it" she
said. "What", was my stupefied reply. You may
keep the book, we have storage problems and
only have space for two copies of books that
are in demand. This book was donated and is
now yours.

Smiling,I realized God must want to communicate
with me through this book. Never have I been
given a book to own from any library system.

So here it is, in my hands. Momentarily providing
a surface to write upon.

I am smiling. I do not understand what I will read
or feel, or think, or where any of the process will
take me. Yet I smile happy to to led by faith along
a new journey.
